One of the best Puerto Rican food spots in the area! Only problem is, it gets quite packed, so you might have to make a reservation.
Try the shrimp mofongo with "salsa criolla" and ask for "tostones de pana". The place is also famous for their delicious fish tacos! Yum!

This place doesn't have the best ambiance, but the food is delicious and it's a great option if you want to sample Puerto Rican / Cuban cuisine. I recommend grabbing food to-go and eating it on the rooftop!
Some classics to order:
-Shrimp mofongo with "salsa criolla"
-Churrazco mofongo "al ajillo"
-Tostones de pana (or regular tostones)
-Rice and beans
-Chillo (fried red snapper)
-Arañitas (potato “spiders”)
-Ropa Vieja
-PIÑA COLADA

This is my go-to taco spot and one of my favorite places in the area. All the ingredients are 100% fresh. Even the tortillas are made there fresh daily! The margaritas are also to die for.

Drinks & Nightlife
THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO IN OLD SAN JUAN. It's 4 bars merged into one! Secret doors keep opening up to reveal hidden sections of the bar, each offering something unique. Amazing cocktails can be found all over. The first is a casual but very cool bar, next up a more quiet wine bar area, then a dancefloor with live salsa music, and finally a techno/house danceclub.

If you want to go around the island, definitely check out Rincón. It's a surfer paradise. A hippie/yogi subculture sprung here from many surfer travelers that came for competitions. Geographically, Rincón is unique with breathtaking hills that reveal beautiful ocean views and of course, the BEST SUNSETS!

This little island is perfect. You can take a tiny plane ($40) or a really cheap ferry ride ($2.50). Take a day trip, or spend the night camping, in the International Hostel or book a villa. Flamenco beach is the best beach in the world hands down. Visit the abandoned tanks in Flamenco beach or go swim with turtles in Tamarindo beach! Rays and octopuses are also pretty common to see when snorkeling!
